inspiration: the dress was handmade by mummer quite a few years ago but the sleeves had always been a bit restrictive. I chopped them off and sewed white bias binding round the raw edges. Not the most exciting adventure but i was really proud of how neatly i sewed the binding on, it’s the first time i’ve got it looking that good!

inspiration: the idea comes from Making Stuff: an alternative craft book (one of my projects was published in this book, ‘brazen barbie bling’ on p.53), the project is by Susan Beal. I made the teabags as instructed in the book and then got busy packaging them! Each teabag is individually wrapped in an origami envelope made from tracing paper or vintage wallpaper and tied into bundles with string. I then made a drawstring bag from calico, and made a tag for the bag by sewing a pinked square of wallpaper onto a square of card. As a finishing touch, i cut out a flower from the wallpaper and threaded the drawstring through the centre. Phew!

inspiration: if you have ever stayed in a travelodge for more than one night at a time you will know that it can be a bit of a dreary experience, so the next time i have the pleasure of staying i will have these extravagant slippers to brighten things up! They are worked in moss stitch and are just a rectangle with a few decreases at the end. The pink edging is crocheted in picot stitch and the pom pom i made with a device from my pom pom animal kit. All i need now is a little bag to keep them in…
